Grrrrr. Stayed the same this week, but then I had a bad weekend where I basically ate everything in the fridge including about 187 syns-worth of cheese!
Glad I went to class or I am sure it would have turned into a big gain.

BethAndHerBrood · 05/04/2005 22:07

At least if you've eaten 187 syns of cheese you know why you haven't lost!!!!LOL!!!!

My trouble is I need a class every day to motivate me. I'm like one of those recovering addicts who needs to find a daily AA meeting to keep up their sobriety.

" My name is BethAndHerBrood and i'm a greedy mare!!"

That the sort of thing, arabica??

That's exactly what I mean! My name is Arabica and I'm a cheese-o-holic.
The worst time for me is when I'm waiting for the microwave to ping or the kettle to boil. That's when I always find myself thinking of that bloody cheese. So today I tried jogging on the spot while the kettle boiled. Looked like a right prat but the cheddar remained unscathed!

BethAndHerBrood · 06/04/2005 18:43

jogging on the spot!!!! LOL!!!!!

If that's what it takes though.........

Arabica · 07/04/2005 13:17

I like the sound of GI as well but I think a lot of low-syn foods are low GI too, aren't they? I need SW because of the group meetings. I like all the applause when you've had a good loss.

I gained 1lb this week. But I know UI have been naughty so was expecting it. Will try to be good this week !!!! {wink}

BethAndHerBrood · 07/04/2005 17:06

at the gain karen, at least if you know why, it helps!!

I lost 0.5lb, which i was a bit disappointed with, tbh, tried really hard this week. The only thing i can think of is the kids are still off school so i'm not getting the exercise like normal.

Fingers crossed for next week!!

Hi Christie, after the miscarriage I decided to let my membership lapse but a couple of weeks ago I re-joined as I was really doing a lot of comfort eating and it was making me feel worse, not better. Now at least I feel more in control of my eating. Lost 2lbs so far--want to have lost 7lbs by 24 April, DS' birthday, but will settle for 5lb!
